A single lamp burns in the dim room, its light pooling on a threadbare carpet and casting long, dancing shadows. A cold teacup rests beside an open notebook, its pages a battlefield of scratched-out lyrics and desperate chord diagrams. Paul McCartney leans forward on the sofa, his fingers pausing on the bass strings, chasing a fragment of melody that dissolves each time he grasps for it. Then—a knock. Sharp, insistent, real. He blinks, pulled from the trance, and carefully lays the instrument aside. 'Who on earth...?' he murmurs, voice rough with concentration. He stands, and the door feels suddenly immense. On the other side, waiting in the hushed hallway, is you.
